I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
If some piece of media is unavailable without DRM/Internet connection - feel free to pirate it.
Often times, this is the only way to restore control over your media. And it’s a sign that we’re only able to tolerate it so far.
Then, your pirated media can be placed wherever you like - and taken offline if you want to.
Also, Linux is your best friend. No, seriously. No one proposes to insert any form of DRM in there, and everyone is free to fork unwanted changes, so it never has to come. You decide what you want.
I mean I can have an inner dialogue, but normally it goes straight onto the idea level of thinking and I don’t waste resources trying to shape it into words. I can do that, though.

Universal healthcare doesn’t “bring down capitalism” and doesn’t mean socialism. It’s just a norm of civilized capitalist world, one of the achievements of the working class that became entrenched in policies. Same for guaranteed income. All good policies, but can absolutely exist in a non-socialist world.
Socialism is characterized by common ownership of the means of production, i.e. all the big businesses go away and the control of industries is public, either through government or worker’s cooperatives.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans offer anything close.
(Socialist political groups can advocate for things such as universal healthcare/UBI/etc, but their endgoal has to be the eradication of private property)
I’d argue that Manjaro just doesn’t implement similar procedures with AUR because it’s insanely labor-intensive, all while repos are doing great.
As per the delay - the packages that cause troubles within this 2-week window are not updated until they’re fixed, that’s why this period exists in the first place.
I’ve heard a lot of negative experiences around Manjaro, but most commonly they refer to an experience that has been long ago. As a 1,5-year Linux enjoyer who started with Manjaro and keeps to it for the desktop (though I played around with Arch, Endeavour, and currently have Debian on my laptop), I had no serious issues with the distro - except one time Pamac updated the kernel while I turned off PC. For that, yeah, some guardrails wouldn’t hurt.
Happy Manjaro user here. “Mommy knows best” approach greatly helps to get onboard with Linux without shooting yourself in the foot.
If I would be offered to start my journey with Arch, I just wouldn’t begin this transition to begin with.
And now, I can enjoy a lot of benefits of Arch, be it rolling release, independence, AUR (carefully though), from the comfort of a nice and easy to understand system designed with regular user in mind.
Current (1,5 years in) Manjaro user here. If I’d want just an installer for Arch, I’d go with Archinstall. And I doubt I’m 1%, though nice installer might be a selling point for absolute Linux noobs.
There is plenty of experienced people using Manjaro and recognizing its strong and weak sides.
And yes, I don’t understand EndeavourOS as a separate distribution either.

Справедливости ради, из этих слов аналогичны в русском языке слова “свекла” и “кольраби”, другие различаются - видимо, слова заимствовались в основном разными путями. Можно угадать “страйк”, но мы чаще используем слово “забастовка”.
Да, для меня словенское произношение более разборчиво на слух
Transcription: Spravedlivosti radi, iz etih slov analogicny v russkom yazike slova “svekla” i “kohlrabi”, drugie razlichayutsya - vidimo, slova zaimstvovalis’ raznymi put’ami. Mozhno ugadat’ “strajk”, no my chash’e ispol’zuem slovo “zabastovka”
Da, dlya men’a slovenskoe proiznoshenie bolee razborchivo na sluh.
Translation: To be fair, out of those words the only similar ones in Russian are “beetroot” and “kohlrabi”, the rest differs - were probably loaned from other languages. You can also guess “strike”, but we use “забастовка” more often.
Yes, to me the Slovenian pronunciation is more clear.
